Book of Job - Chapter 40 (KJV)
Bible Chapter


¹Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
²Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
³Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
⁴Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
⁵Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
⁶Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
⁷Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
⁸Wilt thou also disannul my judgment wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous
⁹Hast thou an arm like God or canst thou thunder with a voice like him
¹⁰Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
¹¹Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
¹²Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
¹³Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
¹⁴Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
¹⁵Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
¹⁶Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
¹⁸His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
²⁰Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
²¹He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
²²The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
²³Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
²⁴He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
